Research Progress of Thermal Spray Technology for Corrosion Control of Marine Steel Structures in Splash Zone

The splash zone is the most severe corrosion environment for marine steel structures, which seriously threatens the security of service for steel structures. It is particularly necessary to develop long lasting technology for steel structures in splash zone. This paper introduces recent advances in the development of the corrosion control techaiques for steel structures in splash zone at home and abroad. In addition, thermal spray anti-corrosion technique and its engineering application are summarized, the characteristics and future research directions of thermal spray corrosion protection technique are also presented.
